- SudrabfoxKyoto, Japan7 contributionsIf you’re in Penang and not visiting the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, what are you even doing? This place is like walking straight into a time capsule—but not the dusty kind. Think opulent, colorful, and absolutely dripping with stories of the Peranakan (Straits Chinese) lifestyle.
The mansion itself is a jaw-dropper. Every corner screams, “Take my picture!” From the intricate carvings on the doors to the antique furniture that looks straight out of a royal drama, you’ll feel like you’ve been cast in a period film. The details here are next-level: gold-leaf accents, hand-painted tiles, and chandeliers so grand they make the palace at Versailles look humble.
The best part? The guided tours. If you’re lucky enough to snag a passionate guide, you’re in for some real tea about Peranakan culture, from their lavish traditions to the cheeky superstitions that make you wonder how people even survived the Victorian era of Asia. Bonus points to the guide who referred to the massive wedding bed as “Instagram-worthy but cursed.”
And the jewelry collection? Let’s just say it’ll make you wish you lived in an era where wearing gold the size of a small plate was socially acceptable.
A quick tip: Go early to avoid the crowd and get those “I have the mansion to myself” photos. Also, don’t rush! There’s so much to take in that you’ll want to spend at least an hour here, if not more.
Bottom line: If you love history with a side of drama and a whole lot of glam, Pinang Peranakan Mansion is a must. Don’t miss it—and don’t forget to look up at the ceilings. They’re just as extra as the rest of the place. 10/10, would get lost in the beauty all over again.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Having come off a cruise plenty of taxis are available to bring you here. Most of the traders take credit cards so no issues spending.Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DavidjellisLowestoft, UK9,498 contributionsMy wife and I visited on a cruise ship excursion and we had just under an hour here to enjoy the pretty surroundings. It's an easy walk and fairly flat. There are many interesting plants and trees to see, and our guide explained that the gardens were mainly known for its trees and plants, in contrast to botanical gardens elsewhere that focused on flowers.
There are wild macaque monkeys here...just don't go too near or wave any bags around as they will try to grab the bag on the premise there might be food inside. We loved the fascinating cannon ball trees, the cannon balls are really odd plants that apparently smell rotten on the inside. We could have easily spent longer here but we were on a tight timetable.
The gardens are located at Jalan Kebun Bunga and it is Malaysia’s only botanic gardens. There are many ferns and cactus houses too, including some rare species.
The Botanic Gardens is open every day from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m and there is parking available.Written 30 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Eventually I found the entrance to the observation deck, only to be sent on a hike back to a hidden ticket office.
Second time lucky and I loved the observation deck, the roof and the skywalk.Written 11 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a portion where you will be allowed to stand on glass at the top and get your picture taken. recommended if you are in the area.Written 29 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephanie G4 contributionsWe found this spa near our hotel by accident and has such a great experience. We first did the shoulder massage and got a whole back massage. After we got a discount for the facial massage as we wanted to do more.
We got a ginger tea after each massage and also each of us got a bracelet and a ring.
Moreover the staff was really nice and happy to have clients.
Definitely will do it again!Written 12 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We liked not being limited to a walking tour area and appreciated the air conditioned car in 95 degree heat. Kevin is super friendly and great at answering our many questions. He grew up in Penang and was a chef so is very knowledgeable about the area and the food scene. We particularly liked our breakfast spot at Pilau Tikus market and our last stop on Penang rd where we had laksa, flat noodle story fry and shaved ice dessert. We enjoyed walking through food markets and having Kevin explain what the fruits and vegetables were that we didn’t recognize. Highly recommend!Written 31 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
